2.1.2.1 ARIMA vs ETS

Remarks : Here I try to predict the sell/buy price and also settled price. However just noticed the question asking about prediction of the variance22 The profit is made based on the range of variance Hi-Lo price but not the accuracy of the highest, lowest or closing price. based on mean price. I can also use the focasted highest and forecasted lowest price for variance prediction as well. However I will conduct another study and answer for the variance with Garch models.

Below are some articles with regards exponential smoothing.

• Recent Advances in Robust Statistics: Theory and Applications
• Error, trend, seasonality - ets and its forecast model friends
• A study of outliers in the exponential smoothing approach to forecasting
• 8.10 ARIMA vs ETS
• Introduction to ARIMA : nonseasonal models

It is a common myth that ARIMA models are more general than exponential smoothing. While linear exponential smoothing models are all special cases of ARIMA models, the non-linear exponential smoothing models have no equivalent ARIMA counterparts. There are also many ARIMA models that have no exponential smoothing counterparts. In particular, every ETS model33 forecast::ets() : Usually a three-character string identifying method using the framework terminology of Hyndman et al. (2002) and Hyndman et al. (2008). The first letter denotes the error type (“A”, “M” or “Z”); the second letter denotes the trend type (“N”,“A”,“M” or “Z”); and the third letter denotes the season type (“N”,“A”,“M” or “Z”). In all cases, “N”=none, “A”=additive, “M”=multiplicative and “Z”=automatically selected. So, for example, “ANN” is simple exponential smoothing with additive errors, “MAM” is multiplicative Holt-Winters’ method with multiplicative errors, and so on. It is also possible for the model to be of class “ets”, and equal to the output from a previous call to ets. In this case, the same model is fitted to y without re-estimating any smoothing parameters. See also the use.initial.values argument. is non-stationary, while ARIMA models can be stationary.

The ETS models with seasonality or non-damped trend or both have two unit roots (i.e., they need two levels of differencing to make them stationary). All other ETS models have one unit root (they need one level of differencing to make them stationary).

The following table gives some equivalence relationships for the two classes of models.

ETS model	ARIMA model	Parameters
\(ETS(A, N, N)\)	\(ARIMA(0, 1, 1)\)	\(θ_{1} = α − 1\)
\(ETS(A, A, N)\)	\(ARIMA(0, 2, 2)\)	\(θ_{1} = α + β − 2\)
		\(θ_{2} = 1 − α\)
\(ETS(A, A_{d}, N)\)	\(ARIMA(1, 1, 2)\)	\(ϕ_{1} = ϕ\)
		\(θ_{1} = α + ϕβ − 1 − ϕ\)
		\(θ_{2} = (1 − α)ϕ\)
\(ETS(A, N, A)\)	\(ARIMA(0, 0, m)(0, 1, 0)_{m}\)
\(ETS(A, A, A)\)	\(ARIMA(0, 1, m+1)(0, 1, 0)_{m}\)
\(ETS(A, A_{d}, A)\)	\(ARIMA(1, 0, m+1)(0, 1, 0)_{m}\)

For the seasonal models, there are a large number of restrictions on the ARIMA parameters.

Kindly refer to 8.10 ARIMA vs ETS for further details.

Application of MCMC

Need to refer to MCMC since I am using exponential smoothing models…

• Markov Chain Monte Carlo Method
• Burn-In is Unnecessary
• Nice R Code Punning code better since 2013

## Need to test and read through the MCMCregress... after few months later (when free)... Start working as a servant at Bah-Kut-Teh restorant tommorrow 01-Mar-2017.

2.1.2.2 Garch vs EWMA

Now we look at Garch model, Figlewski (2004)44 Paper 19th applied few models and also using different length of data for comparison. Now I use daily Hi-Lo and 365 days data in order to predict the next market price. The author applid Garch on SAP200, 10-years-bond and 20-years-bond and concludes that the Garch model is better than eGarch but implied volatility model better than Garch and eGarch, and the monthly Hi-Lo data is better accurate than daily Hi-Lo for long term investment.

I chose this variant because it improves the GARCH model and better model some market mechanics. In the GARCH post, I didn’t mention any of the limitation of the model as I kept them for today’s post. First of all, the GARCH model assume that only the magnitude of unanticipated excess returns determines \(\sigma^2_t\). Intuitively, we can question this assumption; I, for one, would argue that not only the magnitude but also the direction of the returns affects volatility.

nrow(expand.grid(GARCH = 1:14, VEX = 0:1, VT = 0:1, Mean = 0:1, ARCHM = 0:2, ARFIMA = 0:1, MEX = 0:1, DISTR = 1:10))

## [1] 13440

spec = ugarchspec(variance.model = list(model = 'eGARCH', garchOrder = c(2, 1)), distribution = 'std')

There will be 13440 possible combination Garch models. Here I tried to filter few among them.

Now we try to build some Garch models to get the best fit.

## Multiple Garch models inside `rugarch` package.
.variance.model <- c('sGARCH', 'fGARCH', 'eGARCH', 'gjrGARCH', 'apARCH', 'iGARCH', 'sGARCH', 'realGARCH')

.garchOrder <- expand.grid(1:5, 1:5, KEEP.OUT.ATTRS = FALSE) %>% mutate(PP = paste(Var1, Var2)) %>% .$PP %>% str_split(' ')

.solver <- c('nlminb', 'solnp', 'lbfgs', 'gosolnp', 'nloptr', 'hybrid')

.sub.fGarch <- c('GARCH', 'TGARCH', 'AVGARCH', 'NGARCH', 'NAGARCH', 'APARCH', 'GJRGARCH', 'ALLGARCH')

.dist.model <- c('norm', 'snorm', 'std', 'sstd', 'ged', 'sged', 'nig', 'ghyp', 'jsu')

Application of MCMC

Need to refer to MCMC since I am using Garch models…

• Markov Chain Monte Carlo Method
• Burn-In is Unnecessary
• Nice R Code Punning code better since 2013

## Need to test and read through the MCMCregress... after few months later (when free)... Start working as a servant at Bah-Kut-Teh restorant tommorrow 01-Mar-2017.
## Here I test the accuracy of forecasting of ets ZZZ model 1.

Staking function. Here I apply Kelly criterion as the betting strategy. I don’t pretend to know the order of price flutuation flow from the Hi-Lo price range, therefore I just using Closing price for settlement while the staking price restricted within the variance (Hi-Lo) to made the transaction stand. The settled price can only be closing price unless staking price is opening price which sellable within the Hi-Lo range.

Due to we cannot know the forecasted sell/buy price and also forecasted closing price which is coming first solely from Hi-Lo data, therefore the Profit&Loss will slidely different (sell/buy price = forecasted sell/buy price).

• Forecasted profit = edge based on forecasted sell/buy price - forecasted settled price.
• If the forecasted sell/buy price doesn’t exist within the Hi-Lo price, then the transaction is not stand.
• If the forecasted settled price does not exist within the Hi-Lo price, then the settled price will be the real closing price.

Kindly refer to Quintuitive ARMA Models for Trading to know how to determine PULL or CALL with ARMA models77 The author compare the ROI between Buy-and-Hold with GARCH model..

Here I set an application of leverage while it is very risky (the variance of ROI is very high) as we can know from later comparison.

From above table, we find the ets model AZN and AZZ generates highest return compare to rest of 21 ets models.

Figlewski (2004) applied few models and also using different length of data for comparison. Now I use daily Hi-Lo and 365 days data in order to predict the next market price. Since I only predict 2 years investment therefore a further research works on the data sizing and longer prediction terms need (for example: 1 month, 3 months, 6 months data to predict coming price, 2ndly comparison of the ROI from 7 years or upper).

Variance/Volatility Analsis

Hereby, I try to place bets on the variance which is requested by the assessment.

## 
## From 22 ets models with 25 hilo, opcl, mnmn, opop etc different price data. There will be 550 models.
fundList <- llply(fls[grep('HiLo|LoHi', fls)], function(dt) {
    cbind(Model = str_replace_all(dt, '.rds', ''), 
          readRDS(file = paste0('./data/', dt))) %>% tbl_df
  })
names(fundList) <- sapply(fundList, function(x) xts::first(x$Model))

## Focast the variance and convert to probability.
varHL <- fundList[grep('HiLo|LoHi', names(fundList))]
ntm <- c(names((varHL)[names(varHL) %in% c('Date', 'USDJPY.High', 'USDJPY.Low', 'USDJPY.Close')]), names((varHL)[!names(varHL) %in% c('Date', 'USDJPY.High', 'USDJPY.Low', 'USDJPY.Close')])) %>% str_replace('.HiLo|.LoHi', '') %>% unique %>% sort

varHL1 <- suppressMessages(llply(varHL, function(dtx) {
  mm = tbl_df(dtx) %>% dplyr::select(Date, USDJPY.High, USDJPY.Low, USDJPY.Close, Point.Forecast)
  names(mm)[5] = as.character(dtx$Model[1])
  names(mm) = str_replace_all(names(mm), 'HiLo', 'High')
  names(mm) = str_replace_all(names(mm), 'LoHi', 'Low')
  mm
  }) %>% join_all) %>% tbl_df

varHL2 <- suppressMessages(llply(ntm, function(nm) {
    mld = varHL1[grep(nm, names(varHL1))]
    mld[,3] = abs(mld[,1] - mld[,2])
    names(mld)[3] = paste0(nm, '.Rng')
    mld = mld[colSums(!is.na(mld)) > 0]
    data.frame(varHL1[c('Date', 'USDJPY.High', 'USDJPY.Low', 'USDJPY.Close')], USDJPY.Rng = abs(varHL1$USDJPY.High - varHL1$USDJPY.Low), mld) %>% tbl_df
    }) %>% unique %>% join_all %>% tbl_df)

## Application of MASS::mvrnorm() or mvtnorm::rmvnorm() ##nope
#'@ varHL2 <- xts(varHL2[, -1], as.Date(varHL2$Date))

## Betting strategy 1 - Normal range betting
varB1 <- varHL2[,c('Date', names(varHL2)[str_detect(names(varHL2), '.Rng')])]

varB1 <- suppressMessages(llply(ntm, function(nm) {
    dtx = bind_cols(varB1[c('USDJPY.Rng')], varB1[grep(nm, names(varB1))]) %>% mutate_if(is.numeric, funs(ifelse(USDJPY.Rng >= ., ., -100)))
    dtx2 = dtx[, 2] %>% mutate_if(is.numeric, funs(ifelse(. >= 0, 100, -100)))
    dtx3 = dtx2 %>% mutate_if(is.numeric, funs(cumsum(.) + 1000))
    dtx4 = dtx2 %>% mutate_if(is.numeric, funs(lag(1000 + cumsum(.))))
    dtx4[1,1] = 1000
    dtx5 = bind_cols(varB1['Date'], dtx4, dtx2, dtx3)
    names(dtx5) = names(dtx5) %>% str_replace_all('Rng2', 'Bal')
    names(dtx5) = names(dtx5) %>% str_replace_all('Rng1', 'PL')
    names(dtx5) = names(dtx5) %>% str_replace_all('Rng', 'BR')
    dtx5
}) %>% join_all %>% tbl_df)

## shows the last 6 balance (ROI)
tail(data.frame(varB1['Date'], varB1[grep('Bal', names(varB1))])) %>% kable(width = 'auto')

From above coding and below graph, we can know my first staking method88 The variance range is solely based on forecasted figures irrespect the volatility of real time effect, only made settlement after closed market. After that use the daily Hi-Lo variance compare to initial forecasted variance. Even though there has no such highest price nor lowest price will not affect the predicted transaction. which is NOT EXCEED the daily Hi-Lo range will generates profit or ruined depends on the statistical models.

The 2nd staking method is based on real-time volativity which is the transaction will only stand if the highest or lowest price happenned within hte variance, same with the initial Kelly staking model. The closing Price will be Highest or Lowest price if one among the price doesn’t exist within the range of variance.

It doesn’t work since the closed price MUST be between highest and lowest price. Here I stop it and set as eval = FALSE for display purpose but not execute
